A friendly day at Hogwarts

"Do you have any guesses about this voice, Glenn?"

Dumbledore asked casually, walking slowly as if on vacation.

Glenn stopped and listened for a moment.

"Is it...the Golden Snitch?"

Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, pursed his lips forward, and motioned for him to take a look.

As everyone knows, Glenn, who has unlocked the trick, already knows the content of the next level.

At the end of the corridor is a brightly lit room with a high dome above.

Countless little birds with wings flapped their wings and flew around the room, reflecting various colors of light against the lights.

Opposite the room is an antique heavy wooden door.

Glenn took a step forward very carefully, and after confirming that he would not be attacked, he crossed the room and came to the wooden door.

Dumbledore nodded slightly and followed across the room.

"Araho Cave is open!"

As usual, Glenn pulled out his wand and tapped the door lock.

No matter whether you push or pull, the door won't budge.

The lock-picking spell failed without any surprise, presumably because Professor Flitwick had taken precautions in advance.

After confirming these, Glenn looked back at the large group of keys flying in the air.

"So, this level requires you to be like a seeker and find the one that matches the door lock among hundreds of keys?"

He seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Dumbledore didn't comment, just looked at him with a smile.

Glenn looked back again and carefully observed the details of the door lock to confirm the style of the key.

After making a rough guess, several old-fashioned broomsticks leaning against the wall caught his eye.

But before he got on the broom, he had another idea to give it a try.

"Fly the key!"

Glenn imagined the key in his mind and said something casually.

He just gave it a try without any hope at all. He almost didn't stop and turned around, intending to get on the broom.

However, what happened in the next second made him and Dumbledore stunned at the same time.

Among the keys, a simple silver key that was dancing in the air suddenly seemed to be tightly squeezed by an invisible big hand, and it was quickly pulled to the ground, and finally landed on Glenn's subconsciously spread hand.

what's the situation? ?

The flying curse... actually works?

Glenn turned to look at Dumbledore, confused.

"That's what testing is for, isn't it?"

Dumbledore was obviously a little embarrassed and said with a forced smile.

"The layout of this level obviously lacks a little detail..."

"Yes." Glenn nodded with a dry smile and put the broomstick back to its place.

In fact, the main target of this level designed by Professor Flitwick was originally Harry.

As a first-year wizard, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what the Flying Curse is.

As for Quirrell, perhaps he was a fan of the authorities and subconsciously chose the stupid method.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Glenn, no one would have thought that an interception spell would be added to this level.

He inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it gently.

"click~"

The door lock turned and the door opened slightly.

As soon as Glenn let go, the silver key released its control, flapped again, and disappeared among the large group of keys.

The door was opened forcefully, and Glenn and Dumbledore walked in together.

Bundles of flames were lit one after another, illuminating the entire empty room, revealing a rather shocking sight.

They were standing next to an imposing chessboard.

In front of him were two rows of black chess pieces with their backs to Glenn. These huge chess pieces were a bit taller than an adult and seemed to be carved from obsidian.

At the other end of the room, facing them were two rows of chess pieces made of white marble.

Those towering chess pieces are somewhat similar to wizard chess pieces. The only difference is that they have no facial features on their faces, which makes them look a bit scary.

The door to the next room is located behind the white piece.

Glenn stepped onto the board.

"Qiang~"

A heart-wrenching friction sound sounded neatly.A whole row of soldiers on the opposite side drew out the double swords behind them at the same time.

Although the blade was made of stone, it shone with a heart-stopping cold light.

Four big words seemed to appear out of thin air in front of Glenn's eyes - This road is blocked.

"Transfiguration?" Glenn turned around and asked, "Do I need to play one of the chess pieces to win this game?"

Dumbledore looked at him with interest.

"Basically correct, but you are not the only one who needs to play the chess piece, including me."

Glenn was startled, with a strange expression on his face.

"I hope you don't let me be eaten by the other side on purpose."

Obviously, Dumbledore guessed his thoughts with just one look and said half-jokingly.

"As far as I know, if the attack of these chess pieces hits a person, it will still be very painful."

After his little idea was exposed, Glenn turned to the white chess with some embarrassment and said: "Then, please play the queen, and I will take the place of the castle."

Dumbledore readily agreed.

Among the black chess pieces, a castle and a queen automatically come out of the queue, vacating their respective positions.

Glenn and Dumbledore walked over to the empty seats they had left.

As the two returned to their positions, the soldiers in the White Queen's column slowly moved forward two spaces and reached the position of E4.

"The pawn moves from C7 to C5."

Glenn thought for a while and chose a rather aggressive opening method——

Sicilian defense.

This is a method that is very suitable for dealing with the opening of White's King Pawn. Although it is called "XX Defense", it launches an attack directly in the center of the board and provokes a fight in the opening stage.

This level is designed by Professor McGonagall.

The always unsmiling Head of Gryffindor's achievements in transfiguration are definitely commendable, but his level of chess is still a bit low.

Although Glenn was no match for Ron, he had no problem coping with this level of difficulty in a man-machine battle.

The reason why Ron seems to have a hard time winning in the original book is just because he has to win as quickly as possible while also having to concentrate on protecting Harry and Hermione from being eaten by the opposing chess pieces.

In this regard, Glenn is much more resourceful.The chess piece he had Dumbledore replace was the queen.

Protecting the queen is much simpler than protecting the castle and the bishop.

Dumbledore was like a teammate who won all the way, keeping quiet and occasionally moving positions under Glenn's arrangement.

When capturing the opponent's piece, he only needs to move to the corresponding position, and the captured white piece will automatically retreat and move outside the board.

The scene quickly came to the endgame.

Black has accumulated a lot of advantages in the opening and middle games. The guards around the white king are always heavy, and even its queen is already lying outside the chessboard.

Glenn glanced around the chessboard one last time to make sure nothing was missing. Then he walked slowly to the white king and spoke softly.

"General!"
